As to whether the Confederate soldier was any more superstitious than the Federal l neither admit nor deny. hut l think the same supersutions ID regard to battles probably prevailed to an equal ex- tent on both sides. We may laugh at them now, but we once accepted md pinned our faith to them. The first instance to come under my observation WAS at Gaines Mill. I was then serving with an Ala bama regiment, aud the morning of the day on which We were maS- ing our coffee at the ear!y-camp fire | heard q sort Of groan from q conrade, and is l turned to look at him noticed that he was star ing into his colfee-po with some thing like terror, while his face was deathly pale

 l ridiculed tue idea and brought up others to assist me, bn, the only reply to our raiIlery was sad shake of the head. lie was ito- lipver in dreams, and lie certainly felt that his last.day had come. In place of eating his breakfast he scrinbled off q letter to bis mother and iutrusted 1t to comrade. In a little time We got the order to march, and before noon my regi- ment was tbrown toward to un cover portion of the Federal liue, The first missile sent at us WAS q solid shot from q lield-piecr, and it struck tue young soldier in the chest and cut him fairly in two without injuring another man. Not another man was eveu wouad- ed for lhe next ten minutes, The night before Burnside crossed at FredIicbshurg il Second-Lianten- ant in 2 YIrgiaia regiment roceir- ed, with hundreds f others, some mail fron th" -.mrn'al bag l carried tie pack oi tw"rfy of thirty letters oyer to th2 ciic rs' quar- ters and handed 1t to this Lieuten- ant.

si4ciny sands.

Near town called Mana, on this same island, are the wonderful singing sands. These sands are in small desert. In the center of the desert are about a dozen cocoa nut trees. and about five miles dis tant is the ocean. Ka Pule. an-
 tive guide, and myself reached the trees abuut noon. Our horses, as well as ourselves, were about used up travelling through the deep sand under q blazing sun. As we lay stretched at the roots of the towering cocoaputs the trade wind set in cool and refreshing from the ocean. Notwithstanding the heat
 and weary condition. there was an entertainment about the situation
 that caused me to think of the beautiful stories 1 had read in my childhood l began to feel the soft touch of slumber, and all at once I heard q faint, musical tink- ling as if troops Of fairies were coming to greet us as they used to do the enchanted princes in the olden days. I tried to locate the melodious sounds. In all direc- tions there was nothing but hot, glowing sand. l looked up-there was nothing but the beautiful tropical sky and the tremulous at mosphere. Still louder sounded the music; it was all around us; 1t filled the air. I gazed toward the ocean. and there, apparently short distance away, was beautl- ful lake. with its waves dashiDg upon moss covered stones. It was not there when we first arrived at the place. and 1 became half con- vinced that it was the work of en- chautment. Ka Fule had fallen asleep, and, gazing at the lake and listening to the music in the air, l rested my head against the rough bark of d tree. As 1 did so 1 heard the distant gurgle of brook. l could plainly hear the water splash ing over the glistening stones and dying away in quiet eddies. I was more and more bewildered, and at length awoke ka Pule. I told him what I had heard, and directed his attention to the lake He explain ed that the seeming lake was wallula. or mirage; that the sound of gurglng water came from an underground stream and that the
 unslc was caused by the stirring of the fiuty sands by tbe wind. Anyway. tho whole experierce was beautiful, and 1 hava often aa.d that I ouce made visit 10 fairy land.-Stocstou Nal

4 Joke on Rernhardt.

Apropos Of the theatre, Mime. Bern
hardt was made the victim of a practical
joke on the night of her last performance
at the Star theatre. She is much addicted
Ia the practice known among actors as
'guying, and philosophic enough TO be
not averse to a joke upon herself if it is
funny. In the second act of ''Theodora"
the empress visits the amphitheatre in
which She was once star. In the vaults
where the performers and the wild beasts
are housed she renews old acquaintauceS.

the lions cage, with the straw sticking

is left 10 the imagination. On this oc-
casion when Beruhardt went up 10 the
cage to Caress the phantom king Of beasts
she almost slrrieked with laughter. Nest
ling comfortably in the straw was poodle

her as she apostrophized it in heroic
strain. The affair put her in such good
